    Well as the year seems to be getting away from us quicker than ever we reach a point where we're mid way through the summer.

    Was just wondering what the plans were for this gala. I'm sure things are in motion but it seems strangely quiet for an event that's only a couple of months or so away.

    Good three months yet, guess they won't be a gala theme. Hoping for a good visitor loco.

    6024 has made several visits in the past, but 6023 would indeed be a welcome visitor.

    Just like we've come to expect your negative and moaning posts.

    I suspect it could also be a lack of available locos, October seems to be a popular month for steam galas.

    The WSR Gala timetable has been criticised for being unimaginative. Some weeks ago I posted a copy and invited worked-out suggestions for improvement.

    I have had a grand total of NO replies.

    Would it not be a good idea to wait for the finalised line-up to be published before criticising the 'lack of imagination'?

    Always the same Ian, criticism of the (early) line up for the annual paraffin bash at the ELR, lots of suggestions of 'poor' etc. Come the event a wonderful line up was the result. Personally I like to wait and be (pleasantly) surprised by the usual very good outcome. Hotel booked, looking forward to it as usual.

    Robin, which thread did you post the timetable in? I seem to remember seeing it before, but can't remember for the life of me where you posted it.

    Thanks,
    James

    May have been WSR Ops thread or may have been MTW thread.
